不可能である。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Such a headlamp is already known from German Patent Application No. 2006231. This headlamp has a reflector and a light source that is movable horizontally relative to the reflector. A blind is installed in front of the light source to block the light emitted from the light source to the reflector area below in the low beam position of the light source. In the high beam position of the light source, the light source is pivoted away from the blind so that the light also reaches the reflector area below. In this headlamp, the light source adjustment is only used to switch between low beam and high beam. However, it is not possible to adapt the light distribution produced by these headlamps in the case of low beam to different weather conditions in order to ensure the safety of the driver in each case due to the favorable amount of roadway illumination.

The headlamp shown in the figure has a reflector 1 and a light source 2 inserted into the reflector 1 from the rear side.The light outlet of the reflector 1 is covered by a front lens 15. The reflector 1 is divided in a horizontal central plane 3 into two parts 4 and 5. Both reflector parts 4 and 5 are

The parabola 9 of has a shorter focus than the parabola 7 in the horizontal central plane 3, and the parabola 11 of the lower reflector part 4 in the vertical central plane 8 has a longer focal length than the parabola 7.

明らかに光帯幅は広げられる。When the light source 2 is in the position 13a, the headlights cause the light emitted from the light source to be reflected by the reflector 1 and the lens 15 to produce a narrow light band width and the strongest beam on the roadway 17 as is clear from FIG. A light distribution with an altitude Imax is produced. This light distribution is advantageous in fog or snowfall, since in this case the road ahead should only be weakly illuminated, keeping the driver's dazzle as low as possible. This is because there should be a bright and dark boundary line 19 as clear as possible. The light/dark boundary 19 results essentially from the fact that the reflector 1 is divided into two image parts 4 and 5. The front lens 15 has a horizontal scattering optical function, so that the light distribution produced by the reflector 1 is
Spread out in a fan shape. FIG. 5 shows the light beam 20 produced by the headlamp 16 without a scattering plate on the measuring screen, from which a number of isolight curves 21 are shown. With the light source 2 in position τ of 13b, the headlamp 16 results in a light distribution with a large light band width and a low maximum light intensity 1 m a x, as shown in FIG. It will be done. This light distribution is advantageous in cases of smog or rain, since in this case a high maximum light intensity only substantially increases the dazzling of oncoming vehicles and does not increase the driver's visibility distance. . The position of the bright/dark boundary line 19 has not changed compared to FIG. 4, since the light source 2 is moved vertically upwards and away from the optical axis 12. The luminous flux 23 produced by the headlamp on the measuring screen in this light source position is shown in FIG. 7; in this case, compared to FIG. 5, the luminous flux 23 is significantly expanded in the vertical direction compared to the luminous flux 20. This clearly widens the light band width.
